re: This is what appears to be going on:

The idea seems to be that Martin only plays by the book and since he promised he wouldn't talk to Miles till after the SECCG then he won't. But this, IMHO, is BS. Martin made $50 million as a business man. If he allowed himself to lose his guy because of some ridiculous "principle" rather than some real legal issue, especially if Bertman is railroading Miles, then he wouldn't have made $50 million in business. Plus, clearly Miles and his agent have been contacted through intermediaries and the deal can be sweatened if necessary. But we'll see...
